scheme: Load a scheme program into the REPL.
$ scheme --load ${script-scm}
try on your machine

This command is related to running a Scheme program using the "scheme" interpreter.

Here's a breakdown of the command and its components:

  • "scheme": This is the command to run the Scheme interpreter. It invokes the interpreter, allowing you to write and execute Scheme code.
  • "--load": This is an option or flag used with the "scheme" command. It tells the interpreter to load and execute a Scheme script file.
  • "${script-scm}": This is a placeholder or variable that represents the path to a specific Scheme script file (usually with a ".scm" extension). It is enclosed within curly braces and prefixed with a dollar sign. The actual value of this variable would be substituted before running the command.

So, when you run the command "scheme --load ${script-scm}", the Scheme interpreter is started, and it loads and runs the specified Scheme script file (${script-scm}). The script file contains the actual Scheme code that will be executed by the interpreter.

Note: "${script-scm}" is just a placeholder syntax used here to represent the actual path to the Scheme script file. In practice, you would replace it with the real file path or name of the script you want to execute.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
